- 藝術(shù)學(xué)校的學(xué)生達(dá)到一定條件就可以不經(jīng)過考試直接進(jìn)入相應(yīng)的學(xué)校繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)。具體條件是：只要藝術(shù)成績?nèi)獳，就能夠直接進(jìn)入國家藝術(shù)學(xué)院；只有基礎(chǔ)課成績都及格，才能直接進(jìn)入國家科學(xué)學(xué)院。對(duì)于藝術(shù)學(xué)院第四畢業(yè)班來說，經(jīng)過統(tǒng)計(jì)，全班15名學(xué)生一共只有1位學(xué)生藝術(shù)成績?nèi)獳，而基礎(chǔ)課成績都及格的學(xué)生一共有7位。 以下哪項(xiàng)能夠從上述事實(shí)中推出，除了（）。
- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對(duì)該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評(píng)論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點(diǎn)是：概念，特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準(zhǔn)確并前后一致，有無各種明顯的邏輯錯(cuò)誤，論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結(jié)論，結(jié)論成立的條件是否充分等） 隨著我國鐵路業(yè)的快速發(fā)展，西柳鐵路具有強(qiáng)勁的基本面支撐。一旦鐵路業(yè)開放其資本重建，即將上市的西柳鐵路將成為鐵路行業(yè)的中國移動(dòng)。 今年前八個(gè)月，該行業(yè)的固定投資增長不足8％，遠(yuǎn)未達(dá)到行業(yè)國家五年規(guī)劃所定的年度投資目標(biāo)，這主要是因?yàn)殍F路業(yè)的投資回報(bào)率不高和舊體制的制約造成的。目前，全國的平均資產(chǎn)回報(bào)率約為6％，而鐵路業(yè)只有2％左右，因此，我們預(yù)計(jì)該行業(yè)將會(huì)進(jìn)行運(yùn)價(jià)改革和體制梳理。 從全球來看，鐵路的能耗是公路的1/45，其占地和污染物排放量也比公路少很多。我國人多地少，能源不足，可以說，跨越式發(fā)展鐵路業(yè)是本屆政府基于國情、建設(shè)發(fā)展環(huán)境友好型經(jīng)濟(jì)所做出的科學(xué)決策。 由于路網(wǎng)資產(chǎn)具有不可分割性，西柳鐵路作為融資平臺(tái)具有不可替代性，其資產(chǎn)注入因而具有持續(xù)性。如果按照鐵道部提出的“以存量換增量”的改革思路，西柳鐵路的注資可能持續(xù)時(shí)間更長，次數(shù)更多。 按照索羅斯的觀點(diǎn)，股價(jià)取決于公司的價(jià)值也影響公司的價(jià)值，對(duì)于以兼并收購為發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略的公司來說，股價(jià)越高，公司的價(jià)值就越大。中國移動(dòng)就是很好的例子。當(dāng)年電訊業(yè)改革時(shí)，誕生了中國移動(dòng)那樣的超級(jí)牛股。它在香港發(fā)行后，兩年之內(nèi)股價(jià)從8港元不斷上漲，最終達(dá)到金融危機(jī)前的90港元。如今中國移動(dòng)的股價(jià)已穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地站在120元之上，仍然是香港股市不可動(dòng)搖的市場發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)之一。 可惜國內(nèi)絕大多數(shù)投資人沒有親身經(jīng)歷過中國移動(dòng)的投資過程。或許，西柳鐵路是您一生中僅有的另外一次類似的投資機(jī)會(huì)。
